Summary - OLD CROSS HOUSE COSCOTE DIDCOT OX11 0NP
1 bed 1 bath Farm Land
Large strategic parcel with planning history and clear agricultural value.
• Approximately 46.99 acres (19.02 ha) of Grade 2 pasture
• Mains water connected and long road frontage
• Immediately adjoins Didcot — strong strategic location
• Outline planning for 135 dwellings previously refused and appeal dismissed
• Falls within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (environmental constraint)
• Freehold; currently under Farm Business Tenancy, vacant on completion
• Broadband speeds slow; infrastructure upgrades likely required
• Offers invited unconditional; overage proposals possible
This is a substantial 46.99-acre parcel of Grade 2 pasture immediately south of Didcot, offered as a whole with vacant possession on completion. The land is well fenced, has mains water connected and long road frontage; its scale and edge-of-town location give it clear strategic interest for agricultural, equestrian or development-minded buyers.
Crucially, development potential is subject to planning. An outline application for up to 135 homes was refused (P17/S1965/O) and a subsequent appeal was dismissed (APP/Q3115/W/17/3188474). The site also falls inside a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and the joint local plan is under examination; any future proposals should take these constraints and environmental controls into account.
Practical matters are straightforward: the land is freehold, currently occupied under a Farm Business Tenancy with vacant possession at completion, and mains water is connected. Broadband speeds are slow and the site is primarily agricultural in character, so immediate redevelopment would require infrastructure investment and planning risk tolerance.
For an investor or developer the site offers scale, direct road access and proximity to Didcot’s transport links — attributes that can underpin a future planning case if policy shifts. For an agricultural or equestrian buyer it provides well-maintained pasture with year-round water supply. Be advised: planning history, nitrate designation and the possibility of overage are material considerations that must be factored into any offer.
